10 Celebrities Confess Which Sex and the City Character They Would Be

The very first episode of Sex and the City premiered 20 years ago this month. To mark this auspicious anniversary, ELLE.com is celebrating some of its most ridiculous, memorable and controversial moments—from the fashion to the flings.

Like many TV shows, SATC‘s main characters were opposites that attracted. Carrie’s flighty independence sat alongside Miranda’s responsible, sarcastic nature; Charlotte’s prim propriety often sat staunchly at odds to Samantha’s brash confidence. These diverse qualities meant that sometimes we saw ourselves reflected in them, and it was fun to ask: Were we Carries, Samanthas, Charlottes, or Mirandas? As distinct from one another as astrological signs, the characters’ divergent traits never prevented some of the strongest, realest friendships we’d ever seen on screen.

ELLE.com asked 10 celebrities which of the SATC four they’d be. Find out who Lili Reinhart, Katherine Langford, Awkwafina, and more would pick in their TV personality test.

Jessica Parker Kennedy, The Flash

“I think Carrie, because she’s the funky one, and she’s the one that …maybe not messes up the most, but maybe it’s more that she’s the one I want to most be like. The other women seem so specific and Carrie always had this kind of colorful thing—I’m this one day, and I’m that another day. She wasn’t afraid of fashion and there’s a sweetness to her where I’m like, Maybe I’m like that, I hope I’m like that. Every season it was new hair too, and she can rock super long, super short, curly, straight—she just looks amazing in every episode.”

Joy Lenz, Colony

“I’m Carrie. Maybe because of my big, blonde hair, but maybe it’s also because she’s kind of a lady, she’s a little old-fashioned, but she’s definitely got a fierce tiger inside of her. She’s a mess but she’s also really put together when she wants to be. Emotionally, I just 100 percent connected with her.”

Katherine Langford, 13 Reasons Why

“I watch it a lot when I’m traveling, in hotels, and I’m so obsessed with it. A story of an ensemble of women in New York, I love it. I think I’m—and I’m sure everyone says they are—a Carrie. I love Samantha too. I think we got some really positive sex talk in there, much needed for women.”

“Carrie. She’s got taste, she’s got pizzazz. Samantha’s a little too much for me. I’m a Carrie for sure. I love the hair.”

Chloe Grace Moretz, The Miseducation of Cameron Post

“I think everyone loves Carrie but I don’t know, I kind of always felt like Charlotte was the ‘real’ in all of us, you know what I mean? [Laughs] Everyone’s pretty much a Charlotte. I don’t know, I love Charlotte. Everyone kind of shies away from that but I like her. She was always loyal and tried to be her best self always.”
